Chairman Johnson Statement on Supreme Court Decision to Rule on Constitutionality of ACA

March 2, 2020

WASHINGTON – Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman Mike Johnson (LA-04) today released the following statement regarding the announcement that the Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA):

"The Supreme Court is right to weigh in on the constitutionality of the ACA, but its decision will not change the fact that the ACA has failed to deliver affordability, options, and access to quality care – all things that are essential for protecting Americans with pre-existing conditions. The RSC has spent over a year preparing to lead Americans down a new path; one that will deliver greater access to affordable, personalized health care. We have put forward a detailed plan that will protect vulnerable Americans – including those with pre-existing conditions, chronic illness, and serious health issues – while reducing premiums, deductibles, and overall health care costs. And just as importantly, it stands as a workable alternative to the radical proposals being embraced by the Left which would force all Americans into a government-run, one-size-fits-all health care system."
